Do sown flower strips boost wild pollinator abundance and pollination services in a spring-flowering crop? A case study from UK cider apple orchards (2017, unknown): “…arbitrarily chosen flowering vegetation or naturally regenerated 93 vegetation may be ineffective in supporting key groups of beneficial insects 94 (Campbell et al., 2012; Olson and Wäckers, 2007) and may also generate negative 95 effects, such as increased pest problems (Wäckers et al., 2007;…”
Beyond nectar provision: the other resource requirements of parasitoid biological control agents (2016, background): “…the provision of floral ‘resource subsidies’ within and around crops can positively impact a number of other ecosystem services, such as pollination (Campbell et al., 2012), weed suppression (Tompkins, 2009), and aesthetics (Fiedler et al., 2008; Forbes et al., 2009), and facilitate eco-marketing…”
The potential of different semi-natural habitats to sustain pollinators and natural enemies in European agricultural landscapes (2019, background): “However, accessibility, con-sumer-flower trait matching and preferences may vary considerably between pollinators and natural enemies (Campbell et al., 2012), and between different taxa within these functional groups (Sutter et al., 2017a).”
Nectar accessibility determines fitness, flower choice and abundance of hoverflies that provide natural pest control (2016, background): “Also within the guild of pollinators, flower suitability is generally concluded based on flower visitation or flower choice studies only (Olesen et al. 2007; Bosch et al. 2009; Stang et al. 2009; Campbell et al. 2012).”
Response and effect traits of arable weeds in agro‐ecosystems: a review of current knowledge (2017, background): “For instance, hoverflies (Syrphidae) are favoured by short corolla flowers, while bumblebees prefer long corolla ones (Campbell et al., 2012).”
Trait matching of flower visitors and crops predicts fruit set better than trait diversity (2015, background): “…with distinctive mouthpart lengths, hoverflies vs. bumblebees, complemented each other in the pollination of flowers with easily accessible rewards vs. those with rewards hidden at the bottom of a tubular corolla, respectively (i.e. trait matching) (Fontaine et al. 2006; Campbell et al. 2012).”
